@@blakdeth What part of my comment made you think that I saw it as a negative thing? It just means i find the grunts more funny and goofy rather than attractive
@@blakdeth Idk about Ditto, but personally, it isn't that funny and goofy is unattractive, iit's just that it would make a character cuter, and cuteness and hotness are two separate things that have separate scales.
I love that the most attractive male characters are on the "daddier" side of the spectrum like Drayden, Rose, Peony, Turo, even Sycamore and i gotta say i completely agree
Actually if you can make a compelling enough argument, you could say that this is science, as it could be talking about why we are attracted to other people.
Steven being ultra rich kinda hinders his character tbh He's basically the president and DIDN'T nationalize the company that he's the heir of despite his familly running it. The company that is one of if not the most important in the region. That has basically a monopoly on tech.
Ron, sometimes we don't need a good reason. If there's 2 two things I will always commend Pokemon for it's their music and their ability to make good looking characters.
The wisest of the wise, it's castform! But seriously, I have to agree on that, the music is hella good, I've been listening to an orchestral remix of "Through the sea of Time" from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and ohhh boy it is good!

still can't believe Kaylynn gave STEVEN STONE a 4 you have NO IDEA how much of a crush I had on him when ORAS came out, and I stand by it. also he's described as being attractive multiple times in game so it's canon
"[Norman]'s a dad who stayed" Yo, he literally lives _two towns away_ from his (probably ex-)wife and kid. BIG separation energy there, he's totally only seeing that kid every other weekend.
From what we see he actually still lives in the house and the gym feels more like a commute to Petalburg. That being said, he seems to have the gym as his main priority since he can't take a day off to go and see a meteor shower with his wife.
@@castform7 From what we see? It's been a couple years so maybe I'm forgetting something, but I don't remember him having a room, any of the stuff we can inspect in the house being described as his, or even seeing him set foot inside once. We literally see _nothing_ implying he lives in the house, beyond his child and (possibly ex-)wife living in the house which doesn't exclude the idea he could be separated or divorced from the player's mother and living in Petalburg, where his Gym is.
@@RikkuEcRud To be fair, our own mother doesn't have a room. Those stairs in the players house lead to the singular room that belongs to the player. And we actually do see him in the house. The Delta Episode postgame of ORAS starts with the players mom telling Norman she got tickets to the Mosdeep meteor shower and how Norman would like to go but has to temd to the gym that day. Not only is it displaying that they live together but also that she genuinely wants to spend time with Norman.
“Every sexuality thinks Rika is attractive” As an aroace person who happens to be a big fan of Rika, yes I can very much confirm that she is the Ryan Reynolds of Pokemon
I feel like the reason for recent years pokemon designs being more attractive is also partially because of the introduction of pokemon masters/masters EX. Gacha games draw on their characters' visual appeal first and sensible design second. Designing characters thatd easily draw people to pull for them is a core idea for gacha design. So i think that does play a role in a lot of the decisions made in later games. I love a lot of the whacky older designs, but Im also not immune to Rika's incredibly hot gnc appeal. Lusamine may be hot but she's colder than the south pole xD
Calling Wulfric a Home Depot employee TOOK ME OUT. Also I fully agree with Kaylynn’s opinion on Anabel, she is damn close to best girl and is *criminally* underrated.
Aight, Larry is a great character, but that is because he is literally DESIGNED to look average! That's the point of him. He's just a dude working his 9-5 and because of that, he is relatable, not hot.
Emmet sitting in the corner chugging whiskey because he lost an attractiveness competition to his literal twin brother AGAIN. Despite the fact that one person pulled out the bias 2 on the ranking.
I genuinely love nexus. Hes so over the top, and it fits his personality SO well. Hes honestly been one of my favorites since before the dark days of lumiose station
I don't know if anyone will read this but I need to clarify how wrong Ron is about Gordie Gordie is canonically a handsome and hardworking trainer who cares deeply for his fans. You can see by his interactions in the Gallar tournament that he's not rude at all His bad relationship with his mother is also %100 her fault. From a young age he was forced to train a type he never wanted by a mother who's teaching style is describe with words like "ruthless", "fierce", and "stoic", It's no wonder he hates her now. This is even acknowledged in the manga where Melony is fully aware of this and hates herself for it
Ron during Johto: Why are you guys listing negatives but saying it makes them more attractive? Ron at Alder: Canonically he does not know how to use a computer, which makes him more attractive! Hmm...
I don't see the problem. All he said was Alder, in canon, doesn't use the PC. That's not even close to anything negative. Negative would be like what he was saying about Gordie. You know, like "He's toxic. He's rude to his mother. He's constantly mean around her when she's just smiling and being nice." THAT is listing negatives. Stating a fun fact like "Alder doesn't know how PCs work" is not listing a negative. That's just stating a fun fact that most people don't even know (I certainly didn't know that, but I also didn't know his official art showed him with more than six poke balls, so it also makes sense why he has more than six on him).
@@vgmaster02 Ok, not trying to be rude, but you may need to brush up on what a negative is. A negative point can still be a fun fact, but just not be beneficial to the person in question. And it's he doesn't know how to use a PC, not he doesn't know what they are.
31:57 Fun Fact: Burgh’s design and character was created through feedback from a bunch of female Game Freak employees based on what they found attractive in a guy
Is N even an adult? I thought he was the same age as the player character. Although 2 years difference would make him legally an adult but it's still kinda weird. Cutting it a bit close ya know?
There was a lot of bias for the fem-presenting characters :( How could Steven not be a perfect 10 smh I think this bias is shown a lot on PLA where Cogita and Volo are effectively identical facially and stylistically but have a drastically different score
@@TopOfAllWorlds even really fine older men were shafted i was flabbergasted. like kabu is FINEEE idc how old he is. also adaman and archie not getting full 10s is crazy even if they were still high rankings
I mean, people are going to have preferences. There's no bias, they just happen to apparently find feminine characters prettier. They're going to rate the characters based off how they feel, not you.
@@residentkane No, it is simply bias against male characters specifically, because Grusha is incredibly feminine looking, incredibly pretty, and still got an awful score when if he had been a woman, they'd have given him straight A.
I’m like halfway through the video so far and it’s been a pretty even split there are also just more conventionally attractive women than men in pokemon, the male characters generally tend to lend more into goofy designs and are thus more subject to personal taste while pretty much every single female character is designed to be conventionally attractive
See here's why i would struggle so much because the Pokemon Adventures versions of the characters from gen 1 til 4 have completely overwritten their game counterparts in my head. That manga is *amazing* and makes a lot of the characters so much better and more complex. And some characters are down right evil in it like Lorelei, whereas Bruno is the one original e4 member I now respect the most out of them xD
They made Lorelei good again in the FRLG chapter. In hindsight they should’ve made it that she was under mind control like Bruno instead of being willingly complicit in genocide. With all due respect to the original chapters, I like that the FRLG chapter had new characters to serve as villains instead of turning gym leaders and Elite 4 members evil.
(Edit) Y'all hurt me with the low scores for Piers, like dang. He's my 1st 10 out of the list, second being Adaman. First-ever Dark Type gym leader, and they nailed it. I love the Rockstar vibe, and he's a super caring big brother. I love Piers, I really do.
Bro Piers and Adaman were my first two 10s of the list too! Like, their personalities definitely help out in the ranking, but their designs are absolutely peak!
An hour long video with Ron, Numbnexus, Kaycreigh, and Vergolophus talking about the hottest pokemon characters. I can already tell this is gonna be a banger video 🤣
In a subjective opinion, they should've also had the Pokemon Masters EX sprites for a more updated rendition. Also, have you seen Sygna Suit Lusamine and the three variations of Cynthia??!!!
Idk what y'all are on about with Ingo and Emmet.. especially Emmet. You have Ghetsis, literal gaslighter and child abuser a higher rating than both of them? They're supposed to look a little silly and creepy, that's the point of their design! They're really sweet too, and strong!
THANK YOU! The twins are awesome! I’m definitely not letting the fact that Legends Arceus made them my hyperfixation for the last 14 months influence my opinion. Definitely not.
YES. I don't think either are attractive, but I love them so much. I can see why people think Ingo's hot even if I don't. Also, their Masters designs look WAY better than their official art, especially for Emmet. They are not creepy!!!
It's probably just because it's the most modern region and the designs keep getting better with each generation, but I like to think that they included so many attractive character designs in Paldea because they think people in Spain are hot 😂🔥 I hope they don't get disappointed if they come here to visit real-life Paldea
My gay ass is sitting here just listening to bisexual and straights simp over women and I'm calmly giving them mid scores and then being shocked by their answers. Really opens my eyes haha. Lorelei shows up and I was like: "4 or 5, I'm not the biggest fan of her- Oh they all gave her 10s."
Same. This video definitely has strong heterosexual bias since even average women got rated higher. One of the girls gave Bertha a 7 while Steven a 4. The sheer audacity. Steven isn't a 4 from any angle.
@Shaedo same! I mentioned my fav guys in a different comment, but idk how Adaman, Volo, Turo, Kukui, Sycamore, Raihan, Leon, Marlon, and others got scores as low as they did.
@@Tamo8 there’s (as far as I can tell, don’t wanna assume) 2 girls and 2 guys doing the ratings. How can the female-skewed results of that be heterosexual bias? Are any of them even heterosexual? Don’t get what you mean.
Honestly a lot of guys got way lower ratings than I expected. Maybe this committee is just full of women kissers, but Grusha and Piers are some of those characters that to me deserved a 10. One is insanely cute, the other has such an attractive personality that I - also a girl kisser - want to kabedon my way into marrying him. Piers is like...... Damn. DAMN
While one would think Nexus is the thirstiest with his frequent and vociferous 10s, his most common score, he was actually beat out by Vergo, with an average score of 6.95 to 6.96, respectively. While Kaylynn also gave out more 10s than any other score, she balanced herself out for the lowest overall thirst level at 6.57. *should be noted that my numbers may be inaccurate based on scores changed off-screen or left out, considering my region averages weren't the exact same as those at 1:09:38 (for instance, since I didn't have scores from Ron or Kaylynn for Rowan's assistant Roseanne, she was left out of my calculations).
Certainly a very... interesting video... Although already at Erika, I had to think that making 8 just plain "Hot" is maybe a bit too restrictive, because I'd say Erika, and other later characters are definitely above just "Very Attractive", but "Hot" doesn't really describe them, I'd say cuteness ranks just as highly, like how coolness probably factors into a lot of the mens rankings.
Erika's the kind of girl you look at twice, and realize she's dressing in a way DESIGNED to be a bit frumpy. She doesn't WANT to "look sexy". She's just wearing stuff she's comfortable in. But an extrapolation of what she'd look like in a swimsuit? O-o' Suddenly you understand why she has teens who wanna be hot asking her for beauty secrets.
As annoying as clair might have been in the story, particularly with how she refuses to give her gym badge I will agree that her hgss design is probably one of the best designs in the game, because before her outfit was bland and monotone blue in color.and it felt like a bland precursor to the dragon tamer class, but in hgss her design has this sick Dragonair motif and I'm not gonna lie, those hips of hers are quite nice
*Chuckles* Yes because the future is now thanks to science! Clemontic gear on! I thought we'd encounter a situation precisely like this one. I call it the objective hotness tier list!
I fear there was a bias towards the female characters because they kept scoring higher than the most attractive males. Some men like Wallace did manage to end up on top, but it feels like there was still a preference that skewed the results. 9 generations and a male only got the top score in 2 of them.
Pokemon games have a tendency to design the female character as more attractive by default, there's way more ugly men than women. Just compare how fat men are designed ( literal circles) to the fat women ( voluptuous and curvy). By the way, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing , I'm just making a general observation.
But they gave Opal 6, 8 and 7.5 and that old lady looks uglier than most male characters presented. There is no way you can see her and think "yeah she is atractive". There is a clear biased here and Opal shows it very well. Sometimes I thought that they didn't even ranked this based on atractiveness because there were a lot of characters that had the body of a literal child and if you consider that hot then you might have a problem.
Also that's the male gaze for ya. If aliens came, from a third person point of view, started rating humans you would probably be in for a surprise. You will probably get the same results you would get if you rated male Gorillas vs female Gorillas, humans are apes after all and our dimorphism although it is way less than a Gorilla the differences in general are the same.
36:44 Well, the Ingo and Emmet segments. The low scores just because they overshadowed another character kinda irks me a bit. Still a funny section(glad we are all in agreement the Arceus design was an upgrade, and Emmet is kinda creepy) but it does skew the ratings when the reason has nothing to do with the attractiveness. I like Anabel as a character too and agree she does need more attention(though I also agree the twins or really any faller has the sadder story because we know they’ve lost really close attachments and we either see their struggles or their loved ones struggles while Anabel seems to have more accepted the things that happened and lost the least) but that’s more on the fans than the characters themselves for that overshadowing
grusha and rika were both phenomenally popular for the same reasons, so i'm really surprised that grusha scored so low :O and tbh, not to say i've searched it, but grusha has a lot of.... *that* kind of fanart >_>
25:55 Roark’s problem wasn’t genes: it’s that he spent too much time letting his Pokémon mine on his behalf. He needs some muscles to live up to Byron.
The fact that Cynthia isn’t a stone cold 10 to every non-asexual person that sees her is unbelievable to me. She is the best girl. And it’s not just that she’s hot, her personality is fire. She goes on adventures to research legendaries, she’s the strongest champion (her team is honestly close to OU viability, her ace is a fucking Uber!) she’s analytical and smart, but has the attention span of a 3-year old, and worse ability to decide anything.
Cynthia has a something that just doesn't do it for me, I would give her a 9. She just doesn't have that mommy vibe that I like in characters tbh. She's an interesting character tho, a shame she's from Sinnoh.
As an asexual, Cynthia would be a good 9 if she didnt have those weird hair things. I have no idea what the hell they even are, but those completely ruin her design for me
Not going to lie with how many people I've heard thirsting over N I kind of expected him to be rated higher lol. I mean he wasn't really given a low rating it's just that I'm used to hearing people talk about how he's hot whenever he is brought up. It's okay N, you're still a 10 to me.
You missed Clover. Her descendent Candice is too young but since Coin is confirmed to be the youngest of the Bandit Sisters and was included in this list, that means that Clover's an adult too.
JelloApocalypse also made a video on this topic, and it's so funny to see how similar or different the specific opinions are, e.g. how Bertha must have been hot af when she was younger, or that Ghetsis's outfit looks like a carpet :D
The image they used of Lance makes him look like he's mid-teen to me, so yeah... Also, I absolutely love Geetas' official 2D art over her model any day. She is in my top 3 champion designs based purely on their official 2D art
34:17 'I think he's attractive, but like, to some people. And good luck to those people, truly. I'm happy for you." Thank you, I do like my Colress. He may be an internet explorer but my heart has a WiFi that's fast enough to handle him.
It’s Cynthia 1. She’s confident and powerful 2. She has this kind mysterious aura 3. She’s physically attractive 4. At least in the anime she has a playful side 5. Her love of ancient mythology and religions is honestly cool 6. Her choice in fashion and Pokémon team sync up and are cool
@@chill-lady-brook Yh, I gotta agree, canonically she isn't the strongest (that title goes to Leon in games and Ash in anime), beauty wise I think there are way prettier blondes in Pokemon like Elesa, in terms of plot...she has none I mean when your dead psycho gramps is more interesting you know there are problems
Drayden is one of the hottest characters in this franchise, LOOK at his muscles - those are Haxorus-wrestling muscles. I feel he can definitely ruin my ability to walk for days.
For a sec there I thought that Ron was about to tell us about how the Pokèmon series is certified Hot Chick Heaven. On the other hand I came to see where my man Colress was. 😆
what do you mean by experts? there are no experts when talking about preference, everybody can love everything but by Ron only brought 4 people for this data, I’d say it’s not enough

His bad relationship with his mother is also %100 her fault. From a young age he was forced to train a type he never wanted by a mother who's teaching style is describe with words like "ruthless", "fierce", and "stoic", It's no wonder he hates her now. This is even acknowledged in the manga where Melony is fully aware of this and hates herself for it
yeah Gordie got shafted.
Oof, didn't know that
and they give a child abuser a 10 because “sHeS pReTTy!!!!”
Gordie’s a solid 15/10 😩
@@gloomiiii I can fix her.
I have such a soft spot for Adaman. Not only is he fine, but he reps for the diamond clan. Pokemon diamond was the first pokemon game I ever played.
I love how everyone starts hootin and hollering when Olivia appears on screen. Y'all are so real for that.
Ron during Johto: Why are you guys listing negatives but saying it makes them more attractive?
Ron at Alder: Canonically he does not know how to use a computer, which makes him more attractive!
Hmm...
Ah yes, the Shawn Michaels rule
I don't see the problem. All he said was Alder, in canon, doesn't use the PC. That's not even close to anything negative. Negative would be like what he was saying about Gordie. You know, like "He's toxic. He's rude to his mother. He's constantly mean around her when she's just smiling and being nice." THAT is listing negatives. Stating a fun fact like "Alder doesn't know how PCs work" is not listing a negative. That's just stating a fun fact that most people don't even know (I certainly didn't know that, but I also didn't know his official art showed him with more than six poke balls, so it also makes sense why he has more than six on him).
@@vgmaster02 Ok, not trying to be rude, but you may need to brush up on what a negative is. A negative point can still be a fun fact, but just not be beneficial to the person in question. And it's he doesn't know how to use a PC, not he doesn't know what they are.

31:57 Fun Fact: Burgh’s design and character was created through feedback from a bunch of female Game Freak employees based on what they found attractive in a guy
i can't believe they gave N a 7.5,he is a straight 10 for most ppl,he was our first pokemon crush in 2010s
He was my first ever fictional character crush, probably a lot of others too, the score is just plain disrespectful
I love N 💚💚💚
Yeppp like the only man I’ve ever crushed on
Natural Harmonia Gropius my beloved. The N also stands for neurodivergent.
Is N even an adult? I thought he was the same age as the player character. Although 2 years difference would make him legally an adult but it's still kinda weird. Cutting it a bit close ya know?
Steven Stone was my fictional crush when I was 7 and he was given a FOUR?!?!
There was a lot of bias for the fem-presenting characters :( How could Steven not be a perfect 10 smh
I think this bias is shown a lot on PLA where Cogita and Volo are effectively identical facially and stylistically but have a drastically different score
Yeah, they have a strong bias twords older men but no bias against young or older women. It's kinda crazy
@@TopOfAllWorlds even really fine older men were shafted i was flabbergasted. like kabu is FINEEE idc how old he is. also adaman and archie not getting full 10s is crazy even if they were still high rankings
I mean, people are going to have preferences. There's no bias, they just happen to apparently find feminine characters prettier. They're going to rate the characters based off how they feel, not you.
@@residentkane No, it is simply bias against male characters specifically, because Grusha is incredibly feminine looking, incredibly pretty, and still got an awful score when if he had been a woman, they'd have given him straight A.
I’m like halfway through the video so far and it’s been a pretty even split
there are also just more conventionally attractive women than men in pokemon, the male characters generally tend to lend more into goofy designs and are thus more subject to personal taste while pretty much every single female character is designed to be conventionally attractive
As generations continue, Pokemon knows what people want to see, and they definitely make sure people get what they want
You can’t convince me that Ron doesn’t have a secret grudge against Bill.
To go with the literal worst possible picture, that was a targeted attack.
Bill is one of my favourite Kanto characters
fr, like Bill in PokéSpe is around A to B tier to me
@@pokemonadventuresanimewhen3023 Bill is always great especially when the poor guy got roasted by Cassius in XY 🤣
See here's why i would struggle so much because the Pokemon Adventures versions of the characters from gen 1 til 4 have completely overwritten their game counterparts in my head.
That manga is *amazing* and makes a lot of the characters so much better and more complex. And some characters are down right evil in it like Lorelei, whereas Bruno is the one original e4 member I now respect the most out of them xD
They made Lorelei good again in the FRLG chapter.
In hindsight they should’ve made it that she was under mind control like Bruno instead of being willingly complicit in genocide.
With all due respect to the original chapters, I like that the FRLG chapter had new characters to serve as villains instead of turning gym leaders and Elite 4 members evil.
@@firewarrior8298 imagine doing Genocide and then being like "huh that was bad actually" lmao
(Edit) Y'all hurt me with the low scores for Piers, like dang. He's my 1st 10 out of the list, second being Adaman. First-ever Dark Type gym leader, and they nailed it. I love the Rockstar vibe, and he's a super caring big brother. I love Piers, I really do.
Bro Piers and Adaman were my first two 10s of the list too! Like, their personalities definitely help out in the ranking, but their designs are absolutely peak!
I hate every single part of Piers’ design and he’s still an 8/10 for me somehow
This vid is Piers slander and I will not stand for it. I adore that man.

If you give Cynthia a 10, you have to do the same for Volo and Cogita, because they all have the exact same face.
Volo’s hair kinda kills the vibe. Also he’s a dude so if you’re not into that he gets disqualified.

Idk what y'all are on about with Ingo and Emmet.. especially Emmet. You have Ghetsis, literal gaslighter and child abuser a higher rating than both of them? They're supposed to look a little silly and creepy, that's the point of their design! They're really sweet too, and strong!

@@xRaiofSunshine EXACTLY! There are also a LOT of people who are mad at Gamefreak because of what happens to them in Legends Arceus

@@Ditto.007 This is the question the whole community has wanted answered
I don't, this was dumb
It's probably just because it's the most modern region and the designs keep getting better with each generation, but I like to think that they included so many attractive character designs in Paldea because they think people in Spain are hot 😂🔥 I hope they don't get disappointed if they come here to visit real-life Paldea
Spanish people are pretty hot in my experience. But being Mexican, I’m basically half Spanish, so it makes sense I would think so. lol
This was probably the funniest video I've ever watched lmao
Especially because I wouldn't have expected this from Ron
They didn't give Raihan a perfect 10 and I will forever hold that against them.
Hearing Ron scream a characters name the second he put them on screen was absolutely hilarious and let me know where he was rating them
51:23 unsubscribing for pierce slander but resubbing for raihan praise
Real
My gay ass is sitting here just listening to bisexual and straights simp over women and I'm calmly giving them mid scores and then being shocked by their answers. Really opens my eyes haha. Lorelei shows up and I was like: "4 or 5, I'm not the biggest fan of her- Oh they all gave her 10s."
I’m Straight as Fuck and don’t get how Lorelei is ranked so high.
Facts though! I can’t believe not a single male character got a perfect score, Turo and Peony are so fine
Same. This video definitely has strong heterosexual bias since even average women got rated higher. One of the girls gave Bertha a 7 while Steven a 4. The sheer audacity. Steven isn't a 4 from any angle.
@Shaedo same! I mentioned my fav guys in a different comment, but idk how Adaman, Volo, Turo, Kukui, Sycamore, Raihan, Leon, Marlon, and others got scores as low as they did.
@@Tamo8 there’s (as far as I can tell, don’t wanna assume) 2 girls and 2 guys doing the ratings. How can the female-skewed results of that be heterosexual bias? Are any of them even heterosexual? Don’t get what you mean.
Giving Lenora 10s across the board but rating Piers so low and not giving Raihan all 10s is SO weird.
Raihan's fabuolosity blinded them for a sec.
the fab twink should get the 10's he deserved.
their piers rating shocked me, they did him so dirty
Honestly a lot of guys got way lower ratings than I expected. Maybe this committee is just full of women kissers, but Grusha and Piers are some of those characters that to me deserved a 10. One is insanely cute, the other has such an attractive personality that I - also a girl kisser - want to kabedon my way into marrying him. Piers is like...... Damn. DAMN
@@fedechan6325 i literally GOT the game because i wanted to see piers (and raihan) that badly
i was so shocked at Piers' results. like he is the hot goth rocker
While one would think Nexus is the thirstiest with his frequent and vociferous 10s, his most common score, he was actually beat out by Vergo, with an average score of 6.95 to 6.96, respectively. While Kaylynn also gave out more 10s than any other score, she balanced herself out for the lowest overall thirst level at 6.57.
*should be noted that my numbers may be inaccurate based on scores changed off-screen or left out, considering my region averages weren't the exact same as those at 1:09:38 (for instance, since I didn't have scores from Ron or Kaylynn for Rowan's assistant Roseanne, she was left out of my calculations).
Certainly a very... interesting video...
Although already at Erika, I had to think that making 8 just plain "Hot" is maybe a bit too restrictive, because I'd say Erika, and other later characters are definitely above just "Very Attractive", but "Hot" doesn't really describe them, I'd say cuteness ranks just as highly, like how coolness probably factors into a lot of the mens rankings.
Erika's the kind of girl you look at twice, and realize she's dressing in a way DESIGNED to be a bit frumpy. She doesn't WANT to "look sexy". She's just wearing stuff she's comfortable in. But an extrapolation of what she'd look like in a swimsuit? O-o' Suddenly you understand why she has teens who wanna be hot asking her for beauty secrets.
As annoying as clair might have been in the story, particularly with how she refuses to give her gym badge I will agree that her hgss design is probably one of the best designs in the game, because before her outfit was bland and monotone blue in color.and it felt like a bland precursor to the dragon tamer class, but in hgss her design has this sick Dragonair motif and I'm not gonna lie, those hips of hers are quite nice

Steven was done DIRTY 💀
Ron and Nexus would agree
As someone who absolutely has a crush on Roark and assumed that was a universal opinion I was floored when he barely even got a reaction in the video
I fear there was a bias towards the female characters because they kept scoring higher than the most attractive males. Some men like Wallace did manage to end up on top, but it feels like there was still a preference that skewed the results. 9 generations and a male only got the top score in 2 of them.
I mean, that just means they all leaned towards preferring females on average, just the luck of the sample population
Pokemon games have a tendency to design the female character as more attractive by default, there's way more ugly men than women.
Just compare how fat men are designed ( literal circles) to the fat women ( voluptuous and curvy).
By the way, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing , I'm just making a general observation.
But they gave Opal 6, 8 and 7.5 and that old lady looks uglier than most male characters presented. There is no way you can see her and think "yeah she is atractive". There is a clear biased here and Opal shows it very well. Sometimes I thought that they didn't even ranked this based on atractiveness because there were a lot of characters that had the body of a literal child and if you consider that hot then you might have a problem.
Also that's the male gaze for ya. If aliens came, from a third person point of view, started rating humans you would probably be in for a surprise. You will probably get the same results you would get if you rated male Gorillas vs female Gorillas, humans are apes after all and our dimorphism although it is way less than a Gorilla the differences in general are the same.
@@arminarlert7273 didn't they give that ranking because they were also considering the younger version of opal?
Or maybe I misunderstood?
Purposefully not including Brock and Misty because they're canonically underage? i respect it.
timeline wise they are adults but they never got a design of them older like red and blue got.
I mean it wouldn’t matter, they aren’t real
@@shironasama0445 Yeah definitely this. People go pretending like Misty doesn't get a plethora of "suggestive" artwork.

Well, the Ingo and Emmet segments. The low scores just because they overshadowed another character kinda irks me a bit. Still a funny section(glad we are all in agreement the Arceus design was an upgrade, and Emmet is kinda creepy) but it does skew the ratings when the reason has nothing to do with the attractiveness. I like Anabel as a character too and agree she does need more attention(though I also agree the twins or really any faller has the sadder story because we know they’ve lost really close attachments and we either see their struggles or their loved ones struggles while Anabel seems to have more accepted the things that happened and lost the least) but that’s more on the fans than the characters themselves for that overshadowing
I kinda want to see that person who said that further elaborate on why she hates them so much?
43:33 also: Alexa’s a journalist. That is not a low-risk profession (especially not in the manga where Team Flare is actually scary). She courageous
grusha and rika were both phenomenally popular for the same reasons, so i'm really surprised that grusha scored so low :O
and tbh, not to say i've searched it, but grusha has a lot of.... *that* kind of fanart >_>
25:55 Roark’s problem wasn’t genes: it’s that he spent too much time letting his Pokémon mine on his behalf. He needs some muscles to live up to Byron.
The fact that Cynthia isn’t a stone cold 10 to every non-asexual person that sees her is unbelievable to me. She is the best girl. And it’s not just that she’s hot, her personality is fire.
She goes on adventures to research legendaries, she’s the strongest champion (her team is honestly close to OU viability, her ace is a fucking Uber!) she’s analytical and smart, but has the attention span of a 3-year old, and worse ability to decide anything.
Tbh I'm asexual and she's still a 10 for me lol
Cynthia has a something that just doesn't do it for me, I would give her a 9. She just doesn't have that mommy vibe that I like in characters tbh. She's an interesting character tho, a shame she's from Sinnoh.
As an asexual, Cynthia would be a good 9 if she didnt have those weird hair things. I have no idea what the hell they even are, but those completely ruin her design for me
A nat-9 but personality makes her a 17. If I was a sinnoh trainer and I met her I’d develop a weird crush on her immediately

I am lowkey down bad for Adaman...on my first playthrough of Legends Arceus, as SOON as I saw him, I started simping.
Not going to lie with how many people I've heard thirsting over N I kind of expected him to be rated higher lol. I mean he wasn't really given a low rating it's just that I'm used to hearing people talk about how he's hot whenever he is brought up.
It's okay N, you're still a 10 to me.
I vote that more Poketubers should do this. For science of course.
Also I must know if the slideshow for this is available. Also for science!
Lorelei all day every day and that stuffed pokedoll collecting thing everytime she loses a battle is the cherry on top
You missed Clover. Her descendent Candice is too young but since Coin is confirmed to be the youngest of the Bandit Sisters and was included in this list, that means that Clover's an adult too.
no way Riley and N aren't perfect 10's im losing my mind
JelloApocalypse also made a video on this topic, and it's so funny to see how similar or different the specific opinions are, e.g. how Bertha must have been hot af when she was younger, or that Ghetsis's outfit looks like a carpet :D
Nexus was so real for screaming "YES" when Shelley came up.
Also it makes me so sad the character that shares my name is SO UGLY.
46:16 "Look wise, I think he looks like a nematode." This makes me burst out laughing every time I replay it
The image they used of Lance makes him look like he's mid-teen to me, so yeah...
Also, I absolutely love Geetas' official 2D art over her model any day. She is in my top 3 champion designs based purely on their official 2D art
